I, the judge

This post was originally planned for publication here on the 18th of November 2013 as a farewell to blogging. I offered it as a guest post to 'Bloom' blog where it was released in somewhat simplified form.  Here is the original entry.




I have to wonder sometimes at the audacity with which we are judged by others. Of course it happens to us each day and we are even guilty of it ourselves but nowhere can it be more alarming then when we feel our children’s very lives judged because they are severely disabled. As a parent providing round the clock care for my son for over fifteen years there are many constants in what has become our tiny, nearly hermetic life. Unfortunately judgment is one of them.
